If I'm seeing this right, everything after the 10th is now sold out. for this hotel-guest grouping of tickets at least. or they were never available in the first place? dunno.

It’s about time to get going on planning your visits to the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! Walt Disney World has just published the pricing and participating restaurants for the Eat to the Beat Dining Packages that offer guests guaranteed seating at the Eat to the Beat Concert Series. The concert series takes Fridays through Mondays during the Festival in the America Gardens Theatre in World Showcase.


A date has not yet been announced when dining reservations will open, so stay tuned for that in the near future.

Planning a last-minute visit? You may be able to purchase a same-day dining package, which allows you to:

  • Dine without reservations at Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue that day
  • Enjoy guaranteed seats to an Eat to the Beat concert later that day

To check availability for same-day dining packages, visit Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue during the Festival. Packages are subject to availability and may not be available on peak dates.


The pricing listed below does not include tax or gratuity.


Important Information from Disney​

The issues the Magic Key holders had the other day with presales makes me so nervous for when I eventually try to go to this event (2025 at the earliest). The main purpose of my trip would be to go to this so if I didn't get tickets I wouldn't bother going :L
Normally it doesn't sell out when tickets first go on sale. I've been the previous two years in September and didn't get my tickets the first day they went on sale.

I know last year tickets sold out within 3-4 days and according to the OBB thread on here, general sales today were a giant clown fiesta. I would probably go in September too but to me it looks like Disney underestimates the demand that this event has. Oh and their crappy IT at work.
 
Awesome. This is 100% like a Broadway trailer.


The Youtubes are streaming it live right now ... I guess tonight is a D23 preview? It's looks really well done

EDIT: The preview just wrapped. Pretty amazing job taking a gag from 'Hawkeye' to one of the best stage shows they've put together in the parks
